How can I restrict Adobe Creative Cloud to run for just one mac user?

Can anyone help with this please ...
(This is about how the Adobe Creative Cloud app works with OS X User accounts.  I have posted it on Adobe's Support forums, but nobody there had the solution.  Perhaps someone from the Apple/OSX end can help?)
I'm running Adobe CC on a 2010 iMac (OS X Yosemite).  I'm delighted with it, however ...
Several family members share the same iMac using separate user accounts.  Adobe CC seems to run on startup for all of them which is annoying for them as they get messages about updates etc, plus it takes up unnecessary system resources (particularly as we tend to use 'switch user' and Activity Monitor shows an instance of Adobe CC running for each user).
It's not listed in the Login Items list under System Preferences->Users & Groups, so I can't disable it there for other users, However it appears as an icon in the menu bar for any/all users a few moments after logging in - so something is triggering it to run, but I can't see what. 
How can I restrict Adobe CC to run just for my user account please?
Thanks
Richard

The startup item is likely inside the /Library/LaunchAgents folder.
It will be something named like com.adobe.creativecloud.plist.
Move it out of the /Library/LaunchAgents folder into the User/Library/LaunchAgents folder for all the users that need it.
I don't know if it will work, but as long as Adobe wrote the launch agent correctly, it will work. Given that it is Adobe we're talking about, my bet is no.

    How can I transfer Adobe Creative Cloud license to another Adobe ID?
    I need to transfer a new Adobe Cloud license from our main Adobe ID to another Adobe ID we created as they need to be managed separatly.
    Thanks for your help

    Following up, David answered this question via PM:
    "This kind of process wouldn't apply to Creative Cloud because ownership works differently.  I was looking here http://www.adobe.com/misc/terms.html in the 6. Use of Service and Materials section and noted it does reference the service as being non-transferable."
    So with Creative Cloud for Individuals the memberships can't be transferred – but (per this related thread) you can easily move memberships around between users with Creative Cloud for Teams instead:

  • How can I install Adobe Creative Cloud successfully on Mac?

    I already subscribed to the Adobe Creative Cloud. I'm using a Mac Pro (Version 10.6.8, 4GB, 2.8 Ghz).
    However it seems imposible for me right now to complete the installation of the whole Adobe Creative Cloud. I started downloading Illustrator and it gave me so many errors that I looked for information in the Forrums, and the only decent answer that I saw was installing it as a Trial from Adobe's web page.
    I already tried that, even installing the whole from CS6 Master Collection from the Web, and it only install 5 of the 15 programs. I unistalled it and deleted all Adobe folders everytime it finished the installation, so I could try again.
    I really appreciate any help with this. Otherwise I have to cancel my subscription.
    Some of the errors that I get are:

  • How do i delete adobe creative cloud

    how do i delete aDOBE CREATIVE CLOUD IT IS PLAYING HAVIC WITH MY SYSTEM

    Thanks Nitin but I don't want to delete Illustrator as it is installed as part of the Adobe Technical Communication Suite and is under that licence, not the Creative Cloud licence. The version ends with a 0 which in another thread I was told by an Adobe person confirms it is perpetual licence version, not the CC version.
    The CC installation has no installed apps under the CC licence.
    Is there any way from the Adobe end that your records can confirm I am not using any part of the CC licence I have?

  • How can I change my Creative Cloud order to new, cheaper offer?

    I just bought a Creative Cloud membership two months ago, and now suddenly I could get it almost half prise. It's awfully bad to pay almost 300€ just because I was a early bird, and still suffering the same hick-ups as the new members.
    I have pretty new Production Premium CS5 paggage, and I could have lived with it, unless my new way of working different offices during the week.
    How can I change my Creative Coud order to new, cheaper one (36,89€/m) without penalty of the rest of the year?

    Hi katrikuu
    I noticed you had an educational version of Production Premium CS5 registered.  Unfortunately, the offer pricing is not available to Education, OEM or volume licensing customers as per the terms of the offer: https://creative.adobe.com/plans
    If you have other Creative Suite software that may qualify, please let me know.

    I don´t have clear about the diference between individual plan an teams. My questions are:
    Can I install Adobe Creative Cloud in more than one computer with the individual plan?
    The team plan means that I have to pay for US$70 for each computer that i want to install the creative cloud even if I am the only user?

    Hi heymarusia,
    Yes, you can install and activate Creative Cloud desktop applications on two computers, regardless of operating system, for the individual associated with the Creative Cloud membership. See the product license agreements page for more information.

    You need to install the software on the new machine the same way you installed it on the old machine.  You are allowed to have two activated installations if you would like to retain the original installation as a backup.  If not, then you should deactivate it (Help -> Deactivate in any program),
